BAY OF PRAYER
OBSERVANCE ON OCTOBER 1 INVITATION TO All CHURCHES [Pbk United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, September 18. An invitation to all the churches to appoint October 1 as a day of prayer has been extended by the Primate of New Zealand, Archbishop Averill. “In view, ’ he said, “of the announcement issued by the Archbishop of Canterbury that with the approval of the King and by order of His Majesty’s Privy Council, Sunday, October 1, has been appointed a day of national prayer it will undoubtedly be the wish of all Christian jieople and all men and women of goodwill to concur heartily in this day of national prayer. I therefore request that the day be so observed by all Anglican churches throughout the Dominion, and I earnestly invite the heads and leaders of all churches to adopt the suggestion and fall into line with their fellow Christians throughout the whole Empire. I have already received an assurance from the Rev. Gladstone Hughes, moderator, that the Presbyterian Church in the Auckland district will gladly fall in with the suggestion.”
